Have you ever felt stuck in your career, shackled by the ‘truths’ society tells us about work and success? Join Tammy Alvarez, a visionary career coach, as she dismantles the most common career myths that may be holding you back from true fulfillment!

Welcome to another thought-provoking episode of Daring to Leap! In today’s episode, we dive deep with Tammy Alvarez, the CEO of Career Winner Circle and a master of career transformation. Known for her dynamic approach to career coaching, Tammy shares invaluable insights into the misconceptions that entrap many in unsatisfying careers.

Tammy’s Transformational Journey
Starting her career with nothing but sheer determination, Tammy climbed the corporate ladder on Wall Street, facing and overcoming innumerable challenges. From navigating homelessness in her youth to breaking barriers in a male-dominated industry, her journey is nothing short of inspirational. However, despite reaching what many would call the pinnacle of success, Tammy felt unfulfilled, prompting her to leave it all behind for a new life and career in Belize.

Debunking Career Myths
Tammy discusses five pervasive lies that perpetuate career dissatisfaction:

1. No one loves their job: Tammy challenges this notion by emphasizing that job satisfaction is not just a dream but attainable for anyone willing to pursue what genuinely energizes them.
2. Experience is everything: She argues that unique skills and perspectives are often undervalued, yet they can make you incredibly valuable in unfamiliar industries or roles.
3. Industry constraints: Tammy encourages looking within your industry’s ecosystem for opportunities, illustrating that a shift doesn’t always mean starting from scratch but leveraging existing relationships and knowledge.
4. Fear of stepping back: The fear of losing status or income often deters career changes. However, with the right strategy, transitions can lead to even greater rewards.
5. Patience pays off: Waiting for recognition is a passive strategy that seldom pays. Tammy advocates for taking charge of your career trajectory, much like a CEO would drive a business to success.

Start by identifying what aspects of your work you are passionate about and seek roles or projects that align more with those elements.
Focus on transferable skills and how they apply to the new role. Highlight these in your applications and interviews to demonstrate your unique value.
Look for roles within your industry’s ecosystem where your existing knowledge and network provide a competitive advantage, easing the transition.
